SpaceX's 'Starlink' satellite project has encountered significant setbacks due to heightened solar activity. In 2023 alone, 316 satellites fell and burned up in Earth's atmosphere, adding to a cumulative loss of 583 satellites. This phenomenon is attributed to increased resistance caused by atmospheric heating and expansion, with the peak of solar activity pinpointed as the primary culprit. Despite these challenges, the 'Starlink' project continues to expand its reach, boasting over 5 million users by 2025 and aiming to introduce direct-to-phone services. However, the mounting issue of space debris from fallen satellites is now threatening service stability, and market competition is intensifying.
